Growing up on the Gold Coast, you would think life would be a beach. It wasn't.
The addiction and mental health struggles of my parents caused havoc on my childhood. This came to a head at age 13 when I was dropped off for a sleepover and never picked up.
Join me as we talk through the experiences of my childhood and how I have managed to create a life that I am incredibly proud of.
